Overview
When treating persistent pain, building self-efficacy and resilience are key considerations for an exercise prescription.
Empowering clients by providing them with the tools to become resilient is key to healing.
Yin yoga is a simple practice that addresses connective tissue tension and creates mobility in the hips, pelvis, and lower back.
It allows clients to change their connective tissue through unique and effective postures. It also promotes mental stillness to help build greater calmness in our nervous system.
